Did Carole Lombard look good in shorts? From the photo above, probably yes...though the gal looks so doggone tired.Oh, you're referring to another sort of shorts, the type Lombard didn't wear but merely performed in -- the two- or four-reelers she appeared in for Mack Sennett from 1927 to 1929.

Saluting the 'Crew,' the unsung heroes of L.A. music
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 19, 2015
While Carole Lombard never fancied herself as much of a singer, music was a key part of her life, including her relationship with Russ Columbo, a vocalist, composer and bandleader whose bizarre, premature death in 1934 robbed the music world of a major talent. Even before the end of the 1920s, when read more

Paranoia Can Be Quite Invasive – A Quickie Review of 1978’s Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 17, 2015
I feel as though I should start this with a bit of full disclosure. I am a huge fan of the 1956 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It’s one that has ranked extremely high on my personal all-time favorites list ever since I first saw it back when I was a teenager. So I’ve always h read more
